So the word on the street on Joey C is..

[Kirkland Laing]

I think they want Jones but he's asking for too much money, so they're trying to call his bluff by looking at alternatives. Or sounding like they are. I don't think Joe will fight Pavlik but Zolt is an option. No US TV money but 50 000 tickets, UK TV money and the lion's share of the purse for Joe.

Jones has stated he'll take less money and even fight Joe over there

I don't think Joe is dodging him, I think Jones is probably after too much money. I honestly don't see Joe fighting more than once and it's almost certain he'll fight in Wales when he does. Zolt will take what Warren is offering and Jones won't. This Zolt angle will now have Roy's mind concentrated on exactly what he brings to the table over Zolt. We may see Calzaghe-Jones announced quite soon.

Eve if the Zolt fight is a 80-20 it still would not give joe the money with rjj at a 50-50.

IMO the fight to be made is Joe Vs. Pavlik but the weight is the question in that one. Think Pavlik could be effective at light heavy? I would hope Tarver and Dawson are getting some mention. They are more worthy than Zsolt IMO.

[Bomp]

Erdei's a better challenge than the current version of Jones IMO, and a W over erdei would carry more weight after the dust settles on Calzaghes resume. It's Pavlik I want for him though as a final fight, see what happens this saturday.

Erdei happens to own the legitaamate lineal championship at LHW, even though his competition since has been less than stellar.

[Preme]

He aint fighting Zolst full stop, if there is any talk about this it's warren up to his usual shit trying to to piss about.

He said out right after the kessler fight Zolst was a complete no.

HBO would pay a bigger license fee for Jones but it's in dollars and would be split 50-50. Plus the German TV money would be in Euros. Fighting the German would give Calzaghe the money he could get from a Jones fight at whatever split Jones is currently willing to accept.
